Apparently Beenie and Becles have influenced Alice. The other day we had family visiting and she got my brother to draw a picture of Me, OH, Alice plus a baby brother called Camenray [Cameron] and a baby sister called Charlotte.

so sweet!

EA I'd correct them, Edgar was accidentally recorded as "white Irish" not "white British" ob the hosp records and I had it corrected I don't like things being wrong:p
BFing can affect your periods so yours may take longer to come back than someone who didn't do any BFing. I BF Chris for less than 2 weeks and I think I had a light p at around 4 weeks then nothing for another 6 weeks.


While we're on the subject, I've had painful crampiness for at least a week now, no sign of bleeding or any kind of infection, would you be worried?

Morning all..

*hugs* for choppy and all the poorlies

Rhys and I are slobbing in PJs this morning The living room looks very clean and tidy (and empty!) after my mad tidying and cleaning session last night (spot cleaned the carpet and everyfink! ). Bring on the monster-in-law!

We've been talking about Rhys' birthday and I've made it clear to OH that I want it to be just us three on Rhys' actual birthday. We're having a family get together with my family at Mum's on the Sunday before (cos that's when my sis and SIL can make) which OH's family are more than welcome to come to or we could arrange something just for them on the Saturday or the Tuesday (but preferably not cos I'm at work on Tuesday! :cool:). Turns out, they've all agreed to come to my parents so we can all be together! :j Am hoping OH's granny will come too so we can have pics of allll of Rhys' grandparents (two grandmas, two grandads, three great-grandmas and a great-grandad)

I don't really want to do an organised party but if anyone asks I think we'll have a bit of an open house with cake and tea on the Saturday for visiting friends etc We're going out with the Boogie Babies bunch on the following Thursday because there are three first birthdays that week

Rhys is sat bolt upright watching tv (he does have toys in front of him too!). He's getting braver with turning right round to see me behind him now and reaching further and further without falling over. Before he used to pull himself up using his arms but now he's pushing with his legs and just using our hands for balance

Hope everyone has a good day.. I'm off to put the Easter eggs I found last night in the fridge

I like things to be correct to. Its only an hour out. But it makes her seem an hour younger! lol

Woohoo! Me thinks that we've had a backpayment of LHA :j

Sami I'd pee on a stick

Yay for healthy weight gaining babies!

Sorry Tia, poor Amber - she'll get over it sooner than you will though IYSWIM

I keep thinking about how to leave Molly with someone after reading about PP and chopsticks. She likes going to new people but she does feel the need to be able to see me - short bursts of strangers (to her) I think will be the way to go. Although she's happy to hang out with Papa when I'm out and when she was smaller spent a couple of hours at a time with my mother while I was at the hospital with the sick husband.

Molly loves a friend of mine and will claw her way out of my arms to get to him. It's sweet really - and fortunately he loves babies so it all works out.

Gymboree was interesting today... I took OH because I'm going to miss a couple and thought he should be able to see how it works, and he was all self conscious when it came to singing and dancing :rotfl: But the babies were super social today, maybe because there were only 6 instead of 8 (or 12 like last week). And Molly is one of the best behaved ones there, there's one kid who flagrantly victimises another and is constantly taking her instruments away.

Morning!!! Im Home :j:j:j
Thank you all for the get well wishes and vibes, it got very scarey for a while as he stopped reacting to us and didnt move for hours, his eyes glazed over and it was like he had just given up. After 5mls of juice every 5 mins a drip and various meds and tablets he is ok, he is still pure white and the nappies are beyond awful!! we have the rest with upset tummys and being sick so its not much fun here!
We did have an amazing student nurse who looked after Charlie and cannot wait for him to go back in to see her when he is well again! He got obsessive with the ear thermometer and every time she walked in the room he would say beep beep beep lol!!
Im now off to get another load of washing put on and hopefully the sun will stay out all day to help get it dried:cool: will prob be on and off all day depending on how this lot are(and if i can climb back into bed for a while!)

Sami, pee on a stick, but as far as I know, you are at the stage where af can come back, but there is a fight with the BF hormones, so you can get pre menstrual symptoms but not bleed.

EA, they use the mothers surname in hospital for the baby regardless of what you will name her, it keeps records correct as they know what baby belongs to what mum. I had it with Michael, MIL got all offended and started to make a scene till one of the nurses told her that if they had baby C and Mum F they would have to check loads of paperwork several times a day. Takes a while for the paperwork to catch up once you get home, I still get the odd letter to parent of Michael (or Baby) C rather than Michael T.

Got paracetamol into Amber and have a bottle of diawhatsit, she says its boggin, but she's been sick several times so I'm dripping some in her mouth every few mins.

Caz, glad to see you home! Hope Charlie and teh rest get well soon!
